Is that bull-fighting movie?[:D]

...or maybe you mean "Tora Tora Tora"[8D]

I was thinking of that other unmentionable film, about the dastardly Dec 7th Japanese attack on an American Love Triangle

what? you didn't like the "run down the trench" bomber tactics used by the Japanese? or the fact that Fighter pilots can instantly volunteer to pilot B-25's off of carriers?

J-Lo did. Maybe she could have stopped that travesty of a movie.

What happened in the Japanese Propoganda Version?

*US Navy preparing to set sail Monday Dec 8th to Attack Japan
*Japanese have no choice but to pre-empt this naked aggression
*9 Battleships sunk in first attack, including new Battleship USS New Hampshire
*USS Arizona sunk by brave sacrifice of pilot flying wounded plane down the smokestack

I loved the "other PH movie"

It was a bit like an unintended Top Gun crossed with Romeo and Juliet, thrown in
a Very Seldom P40 version that was abled to outturn a Zero and Split S with the mixture for 2 hours...

Very impressive! [:D]

Good grief.  Come on guys.  That's not a model, it's the real place being used as a set of a monster movie filmed in 1940 where giants (hydrogen filled baloons built to look like men) are chasing Ens. Willie Tripp (played by John Wayne) and his MTB around Ford Island.
 
I thought you guys new everything.

The Not Named movie is also probably better off Not Mentioned as well. [;)]

Actually it's a Spanish Film called "Bull! Bull! Bull! It's a documentary on the making of the epic "movie that shall not be named" (or mentioned).
